| Evidence: | 'Received a parcel from Elsie containing tobacco (most welcome), papers and a little book of war poems called [italics] Counter-attack [end italics] by Siegfried Sassoon. Very good and very outspoken, revealing things as they actually are, not as they are represented by the daily press. They will do old Glasspoole's heart good when he reads them.' |
